The SA Footballer was first published in the 1919 season and continued until the end of the 1926 season. From 1927, the year the South Australian Football League (SAFL), changed its name to the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), it has been known as the South Australian Football Budget. Previously an SA Football Budget was published for the 1914 and 1915 seasons ending when the league competition went into recess for the rest of the First World War. All of these were official publications of the League.
This example of the SA Footballer is from the 1923 finals series. The 1923 premiership was won by Norwood led by their captain Sid White and three time winner of the Magarey Medal, Walter 'Wacka' Scott. They defeated North Adelaide, captained by Percy Lewis, in the Grand Final.
